Apple’s iPhone range has had wireless charging for quite some time, but while it has been used to draw power to recharge the internal battery, it’s not been used to transmit power the other way. If a rumor is true, this may happen for the iPhone 17 Pro.
According to serial Weibo leaker Setsuna Digital, also known as Instant Digital, Apple “has tested the reverse charging function” on the iPhone 17 Pro. While wireless charging isn’t said explicitly, the post references the function used in Samsung devices, as well as an image highlighting the wireless charging area on a smartphone.
